Welcome to the rewarding world of tutoring! If you are a national service or volunteer tutor, this Web site will provide you with practical strategies you can use to help children learn to read. If you run a volunteer tutor program, this site can help you provide quality training to your volunteers. For ideas about how to use this site, click here.
You'll meet tutors and children engaged in a range of activities that integrate a variety of skills and learning styles. You'll see them working on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension-key components of literacy development. And you'll help tutors make choices about what's best for their students.
If you're a new tutor and not sure where to begin, click here.
